Gary is a full-time property mediator who has mediated over 450 cases.
He has extensive experience, both as a barrister and as a mediator, in a wide range of commercial and property disputes, including very complex and high value cases up to £40million.
Gary is a founder member of The Property Mediators, which specialises in mediating property disputes. His property mediations have included landlord and tenant disputes (commercial and residential), disputes involving boundaries, rights of way and other easements, conveyancing and misrepresentation claims, restrictive covenants, property joint ventures, co-ownership, property related negligence claims.
He also has a great deal of experience in family disputes having mediated many cases between parents and children, siblings, separating couples and divorcing partners. Much of this work has related to the dissolution of family businesses, co-ownership, inheritance and administration of estates.
Since the onset of the pandemic, Gary has been mediating online using the Zoom platform.Â
Gary’s style is relaxed, friendly and empathetic. He calms things down and listens carefully so as to understand what the parties really want and need and to extract those interests from the various matters that get encrusted onto disputes.
He focuses on solutions and steers the parties in that direction from an early stage in the mediation. He is exceedingly patient but will speak plainly when required.
Except in limited circumstances he is not the sort of mediator who goes on late into the night.
Property, commercial and family disputes.
